## Why Included

OpenAI deprecated this skills catalog, so move discovery and packaging to its maintained Plugins repository and current guide.

## Source Summary

OpenAI has deprecated its standalone skills catalog. Builders should use the Plugins repository and current plugin guide for examples, including skill-only packaging.

## Practical Implication

Move future skill discovery and packaging work to the plugin path. Treat skills as reusable bundles of instructions, scripts, and resources, and verify installation guidance against the current documentation.

## Agent-Ready Context

The **openai/skills repository is deprecated**. OpenAI now directs builders to the **OpenAI Plugins repository** for current examples and to the Build plugins guide for creating skill-only plugins.

Move future skill discovery and packaging work to the plugin path. Treat skills as reusable bundles of instructions, scripts, and resources, and verify installation guidance against the current documentation.

The deprecated repository still describes older flows such as installing curated skills and restarting Codex. Those instructions may remain informative, but the material explicitly points elsewhere for the maintained approach.
